C++ In a Nutshell

Name

forward_iterator_tag class — Tag for a forward iterator

Synopsis

struct forward_iterator_tag : public input_iterator_tag {};

Use the forward_iterator_tag class as the iterator category when declaring a new forward iterator class. When writing a generic algorithm or similar function, you can use the iterator’s category to write specialized implementations for different kinds of iterators. See Example 13-19 (under the distance function template).
